Peace doesn't come by sitting still
But by moving and shoving
Breaking and burning and dying
And finding your life
In reaching exhaustion and
Still running and climbing and falling...
Still standing
And when you know you need to stop...
On breathing and exhaling

I breathe in
And remind myself of all the strengths I have
Out
All the clouds that darken my sunshine
In
Past present and future hopes dreams strengths beliefs
Out
All lies that want to stick their feet in my peace
In
Selflessly
Out
all swings and shifts in polarity
